Compliant User Provisioning

Automate the Way You Analyze and Provision Users

Approva’s Approach

Approva supports your provisioning process whether you are using manual processes or implementing a sophisticated multi-million dollar enterprise-wide provisioning system. We can fit into your provisioning system by (1) enabling approvers to perform “what if” analyses using Approva to identify any potential SOD conflicts, (2) automating the approval and provisioning new users to the ERP system and (3) integrating with 3rd party identity and access management (IAM) solutions and serve as the compliance engine to analyze new user requests and role change requests.

Key Benefits

Faster Provisioning

No matter what approach you take to provisioning, requests are reviewed and approved more quickly so approving managers can stay focused on their primary responsibilities and new users gain the appropriate access more quickly.

Automated Compliance Checks

Adding compliant provisioning ensures that your application environment stays clean of SOD violations. The net result is reduced risk, fewer mistakes, and less fraud.

Reduced Audit Preparation Costs

Since individual requests are analyzed on a case-by-case basis you can ensure that you never have to repeat your SOD cleanup project ever again. Your systems remain clean and you have a clear audit trail for every user you add to the system.

Reduced Cost of Provisioning

Whether you are using Approva One's ‘what if’ capabilities as part of a manual process or supporting a fully automated provisioning system you will be provisioning users at lower cost. ‘What if’ capabilities can eliminate hundreds of hours of analysis every year by approving managers while Approva One's workflow and integration with 3rd party provisioning systems can squeeze out additional costs associated with entering new users into the ERP system itself.

By integrating an enterprise’s controls managent and identity management systems, every step from provisioning and monitoring to ongoing analysis and remediation can be automated so that segregation-of-duty violations are avoided before they can occur.
